Now, that's a TALL ORDER mate. Sounds from your cleaning, it may be real. But, you could use an expert opinion and I recommend you start with a hunter named
Trez. send him a photo and keep us posted. Of course there are pros.$ at this.

Hi, well I would say if it was in 3' of water with coral and sand on it, and it needed to be broken open, it's probably the real deal!!! But I would recommended that you get it checked from a reputable coin dealer in your area!!!

Congrats on a super find!!!!

Was the coin black with oxidation? The grey areas on the coin suggest pot metal. Is the word copy or the letter C anywhere on the coin?

It's fake ,made out of Pewter.People plant them to build other people interst up in ship wrecks.I live in Naples and find lots of the fakes,Once and a while you will find the real deal and you see the diffrents. Don't mined my spelling.
